Simon Turner The British Railway Clock Specialist, Welcomes
you to Railway Clocks.net

My website gives up to date information on all aspects of British Railway
clocks, including advice on collecting, restoring, buying and selling
genuine British railway clocks.

The railways of Britain used mainly English dial
fusee wall mounted clocks but also purchased many different types,
these included mantle clocks, French brass cased drum clocks, industrial
style wall mounted regulator clock's and even clocks from Germany and
the USA.

If you would like to see the diversity of different Styles of
Railway clocks used by the British Railway companies please have a look at
my
clocks page and also the for sale page, I have included many pictures of
clocks that I have managed to collect and also a page dedicated to
Fakes
and reproductions ! I hope you enjoy sharing my passion with you.

Railway Clock research and appraisal.

In my custody is one of the most extensive archives of British Railway clock records
that exist mainly covering clocks of the Southern railway and London &
North Eastern railway. These have been painstakingly formatted into a
modern database and can be sent by email as a certified copy in pdf or
Jpg file formats, for this there is a small charge of £12 per record.

These records will enhance the history
and value of your clock.

I can research clocks for a
given station and send you a list of railway clocks in use there, this
carries a charge of £20.

This service offers you all the information that survives
relating
to your British railway clock.

Check out the History page for more.

What was railway Time ?

In The years before 1840 there were
different local times in use all over the United Kingdom, but in
November 1840 the Great Western Railway first adopted Railway Time
thus enabling a number of different local times to be synchronised
and a single standard time applied. This practice soon caught on and
over the next few years was adopted by all of the other railway
companies in Great Britain. If you would like to know more then go

History page.

Reviews

Thank you for the information
you sent me, at the time I was given the clock Upwell tram station was
mentioned so your info confirms that.

Crikey,
that was quick! Thanks very much for information It was good to know that
the clock was from York. I live in Gloucestershire now but I spent much of
the 70s and 80s in Yorkshire and York was our main town. And I also have
fond memories of York Station.

Thanks very
much for the info. I do remember the Manager of the Clock &
Watch section saying it was of GN origin, so to have the actual
location is fantastic.

Many thanks
for the information and such a rapid response! I will certainly send you a shot of the clock when I have it
done.
